Force New Page

[Guest]

I produce a report that has entries that comprise names and details, in
alphabetical order. Each name has a variable number of entries against it in
the form: name, date, day, AM/PM, partner.

I want to print a report that will recognise a change of name and force a
new page, so that I get one page per person. Any ideas?

Thanks, Tony

Open Help and then copy the subject from your email into the Help "Answer

Thanks for your reply, but I had already tried that; it "shows" me how to use
a counter (to 10, say) but not how to force a new page on change of field
contents; if I were programming this, I would create a variable, set it to
first name and then check each record for same name...when it no longer is, I
would then go to a new page. Not sure how to do this with a macro, hence the
question.

Have you tried to use grouping, if you group by name than
you can set the start new page to the group header and
this should start a new page for each name or what ever
variable you group by.
Hope this helps.

I can only assume that your report is sorted on the name field. Make sure
you are displaying a header for the section and then review the properties
of the header section. You will see "Force New Page" property.
